@grandmar I was in hunting camp in late fall in the Bridger Wilderness in WY the first time this happened. Had not a clue what had happened. I was the wrangler and could not say a word to get those horses moving. I was 23 at the time.
I only eat soft foods which makes it a challenge to eat healthy. Green smoothies are at the top of the food chain. OA has set in too. When I went to the 2nd TMJ specialist I learned my mandibular joint was out of socket. There are ways and I am thankful for blenders!!!

It really isn't necessary to limit yourself to soft foods. Just stay away from 'chewy' foods, foods that require a lot of chewing, like steak. Don't chew gum or gummy candies (or vitamins). Don't overextend your mouth when you go in for a bite. Don't bite into a piece of corn on the cob or an apple. You can eat these things, just cut them into small bites.
As I said in a prior post, the dentist should be able to put your joint back into the socket. It hurts like hell, but in a few hours you are good as new. Surgery should not be necessary.
